Mature bamboo plants produce seed heads. Bamboo is a variety of perennial plant belonging to the Bambuseae tribe of grass family. With over 1,000 species, bamboo plants range in height from less than 10 feet to more than 100 feet.
Throughout Asia, diners anticipate the emergence of fresh bamboo shoots â like our asparagus, rhubarb or morel mushrooms â as a fleeting sign of spring. The aromatic, just-cooked shoots taste like artichoke, corn and hearts of palm. Bamboo, perhaps surprisingly, is a member of the grass family. The plant's prolific (often invasive) hardwood stalks yield tender canes when harvested, at less than two weeks old, from March through June.
